How to download your entire Miiverse post history

Nintendo will shut down the Miiverse social network running on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS this fall. With its death goes a community of artists, goofballs and “Yeahs!”

If you were active on Miiverse and want to keep your post history until the end of time, you can request a download of it. You need to do this before Miiverse shuts down on November 8, 2017.

You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website. <a class=”miiverse-post-link” href=”https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlTY-O9YQ”>View post in Miiverse.</a>

Head to this page, log in and follow the directions. There’s a big button at the base of the page that reads “Request Post History.” You’ll eventually receive a file download. Here’s what Nintendo offers about what’s required to view it.

A PC is needed to download or view your post history. A smart device cannot be used.

Your downloadable post history will be contained in a Zip file. You will need to open the file on a PC to view the content.
